Signed Oil on Paper by Canadian Artist Rene Marcil, circa 1980

About

Montreal born artist Rene Marcil (1917-1993) has been a favourite in the Canadian art scene for a number of years. He has painted and explored a number of different styles including Expressionism, Realism, Surrealism and Cubism. He paints in a variety of mediums including oil, crayon, charcoal and watercolor.
I have always been drawn to his paintings, particularly his use of color and
the vibrancy of his works.
This particular piece is titled “Woman with Flowers” and bears its original gallery label on the back from the Kinsman Robinson Galleries here in Toronto.
Listed measurements are 17” x 23” and with the frame it measures 32” x 26”.
